A hot mess
The UI of the app is actually the least-frustrating part. In fact, one might even say it’s reasonably well-designed. The performance, however, is garbage. The pop-out player constantly closes, forcing you to go back to the app—which has usually outright rebooted itself—to reopen the show you were trying to watch. I’ve had to re-link my provider multiple times as well, but I’m hoping that having an actual account in the app will stop that from happening again.

Buggy app with intrusive Pop up’s, poor performance
1. Too slow, especially the smart TV versions, and apps included in FireTV. Will crash while loading multiple times before success.
2. Asks for TV subscription (DirecTV) validation almost every time. Gets annoying.
3. There’s an intrusive popup that says “Finished watching? Let’s find your next favorite” even before I select my first program.
4. I want to use the app with an hdmi connection to my computer monitor. It gives me a failed playback message forcing me to just watch on my iPhone screen. Please take this restriction off in future updates.

Brutally Bad
Yikes, if you thought Peacock was bad, just try watching anything on this monstrosity of a failed app. It’s non-responsive on my TV, always makes me re-authorize EVEN WHEN I’M LOGGED IN, can’t cast for more than 5 mins before skipping and getting buggy…
Oh, there’s more. If you can get the casting or network itself to work, the sound has been very bad and you’ll constantly re-watch random segments as the stream bounces.
Peacock is bad, but I can deal with it. Not surprised the same parent company put this horrid app out, as they obviously no pride and don’t value their customers experience whatsoever.

It needs work.
The app won’t save my place where I left off. I have noticed when I watch on my phone and select an on demand show to watch it won’t let me rotate the phone and watch in landscape mode. So I’m forced to watch it the other way on a smaller window. I know for a fact my rotation isn’t locked and all my other apps go to landscape mode when turned sideways. I’m using an IPhone 11 Pro Max.

complete scam
If you are paying for the usa network with your tv provider, you still cannot watch anything on the entire app without it crashing or claiming you do not have access through your tv provider. it’s been doing this for over a year now and I have reached out to support multiple times and not gotten any help back. this app is a scam and cannot be used by literally anyone, so do not waste your time.

Quite Simply Garbage
This app is buggy and near useless. Constantly needs the device to be reset before it will work lay again. Confusing and illogical sidebar menu. It includes multiple feeds, but none ever work properly or for more than a few minutes. Maybe work on getting on facet right before trying to cram in an all inclusive format? I only use this to watch Premier League matches, that were formerly on NBCSN…that app was great. Way to drop the ball NBC….USA app is total trash and needs a complete restart in every aspect. Blow it up and start over. There’s really no fixing something with a build this poor.

APP CRASHES EVERY TIME YOU SWITCH NETWORKS VIA APP
This is a poor app and completely dissatisfied. There are no updates that indicate that anything is changed. When they say bugs are fixed it’s a complete lie. There was one done last week which is what it says in the update version history and there is nothing that has changed. You try to open or change the net work in the app crashes. Get it together or don’t have an app at all

Exceptionally high quality Shows
USA has a lot of shows that are exceptionally high-quality to choose from and is one of the better streaming apps
Cannot handle EPL’s switch to the network
NBC’s heavily-advertised move of their Premier League matches from Peacock to USA Network has been awful. The app (as does the NBC app) regularly crashes or hangs up…as it’s doing as I write this review during the Everton-Brighton match…leading to inevitable and repeated Apple TV reboots. I’ve seen as many “An Error Occurred. Something has gone wrong. Please try restarting your app and trying the live stream again” messages as I’ve seen goals this weekend. Two match days in and it’s clear NBC/USA Network weren’t prepared to handle the demand for the content they continue to monopolize in the U.S. Pleas fix asap.

Flatliner
The USA Network app has a life expectancy of about 4 weeks on Apple TV before it only displays a single, flat, white line in the middle of a black screen, when you bring it up. It has to be deleted and reinstalled at that point, but at least it doesn’t lose your progress in shows that you are watching, when you restart it. This has happened to me so many times I expect it. It’s a frustrating experience, and I hope they hire some software writers who can fix this recurring issue.
